SOS: March 2021

thank you Jim..i was fortunate to score this set from a former gillette collector..

 

Cool flat bottom new shave and pic Gary. Nice use of color.

 

thank you Jim..

 

Revelation razor, Bic Chrome Platinum, shave 7


This is a French made adjustable razor. Adjustment is in the spring loaded shoulders. Handle has an alignment mark and was adjusted approximately 1 revolution from being fully tightened down. I decided to push blade past the 6 shave limit I usually adhere to. Shave was almost a BBS finish everywhere except under the chin this time reminding me why I usually don't use these blades over 6 shaves. The blade is still usable and I will go one more shave on the opposite side of the blade at a slightly higher adjustment to see how the razor performs.

Not a bad shave at all from the Timeless Aluminum. A big difference in weight & feel but, nonetheless a very good shaver. Looking forward to zeroing in on this razors sweet spot. A wonderful evening and shaves to all...

William Marvy Shave soap - "Look Better, Feel Better"
Glycerin (4 drops, should have done 3)
Omega Professional '98 Boar
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

Really, really, very good lather with this soap using this brush, the added glycerin is a necessary step with Marvy's but who cares, as the payoff on the lather stands on its own.

Great shave.
